Death of John Roach.

John Roach died in New York on Mon
day the 10th inst, OF cancer. He was by
far the most successful OF shipbuilders.
He built n great number OF fine steamers.
some OF them exceeding 5000 tons burden,
and which are regarded as models OF fast
and strong vessels. Among them are the
Pacific Mail steamers which ply between
San Francisco and Australia and Japan,
the Oregon Navigation company stel >,ers
and The steamers that ply between New
York and South America. He also built sew
eral Of the large monitors for the United
States and a coast-guard boat for the Span
ish government. In 1888 he was the lowest
bidder for building the government cruisers
Atlanta, Boston and Chicago, and the
dispatch boat Dolphin. The Boston was
finished in August, 1886, and the unfortu-
nate Dolphin-which caused John Roach
so much trouble by having been rejected
under the Cleveland Observation-Disclosures
at last transferred to the government
through negotiations between Mr.. Roach
and Secretary Whitney. Mr.. Roach made
an assignment on July Is, 1885, the cir
cumstances relating to which events are
fresh in the public memory.

THE KIMBERLEY GOLD FIELDS.
a Great Fa11ure-Mfners
Slain by Blacks F.t) sFE

pronounced a Great Faf1ure-Mfnera
Slain by Blacks +) sF%
A correspondent of The Sydney Iier-
aid, writing from McPheey creek on
July 81. gives q gloomy view of the
Kimberley gold-felds. He was sent out
by The Heraadto make careful esti-
mate of the diggings, and from his OBJ
servations and the testimony of exper-
fenced miners he pronounces the dig
gings failure. The following are the
most interesting points in the letter.
There is the main camp in the center
of what are named the ..Kimberley
gold-fields. There were about seventy
men and one hundred horses camped
there. Samuel Johnson. one of the
men recently speared by the blacks, was
also there. had personal interview
with him. and the information obtain
ed from him has since. been verified by
personal observation, and also from
conversation with at least one hundred
miners. many Of whom have been ON
the field for months. others for weeks.
and others again for only a few days.
but all are unanimous in pronouncing
the diggings a gigantic failure. Mr.
johnson has been on the field, which
embraces an area of some hundreds Of
miles, between seven and eight months.
He states that he. with four others.
came overland from Port Darwin with
Thoroughly complete outfit and thirty
horses. His party commenced pros
pecting directly they struck the Ord
river, and have been hard at it ever
since. AS they have experienced beth
the wet and the dry seasons. Mr.. John
son ought to be able to speak with
some authority. He stated that he had
no hesitation in pronouncing the dig,
gings failure.
All the gold hitherto got has been
obtained by gully-raking, which is very
''patchy." Sinking is useless, as it is
impossible to get down more than a
couple of feet. No quartz Reefs have
been found rs yet, and the gold appears
to come from .'mullocky" leaders. I
do not assert that there is no gold in
the district, for something like two
thousand ounces must have been un-
earthed. But it must be remembered
that the parties who have got the bulk
of this came here we'll equipped with
horses and provisions and prepared to
prospect the country in ali. directions.
They have completely worked out all
the good gullies. and although many Of
those who arrive in the various steam
ers at the gulf are still working. very
little gold is being got-not sufficient Is
give men rations. So
Several men have been killed bv
black and fully twenty men have been
missing for weeks past. They went out
prospecting in different. directions. in
parties of two and three, with provis-
ions sufficient to last them only few
days. They have never been heard Of
since, and it is feared that they have
either lost themselves and perished in
the bush or have been murdered by the
blacks.

Death OF Sweet Alice Oates.

Alice Oates. the well known comic opera
singer, died at the residence of her hus-
band in Philadelphia few days ago. She
had wasted away greatly under a painful
complication OF diseases, and death came
as a welcome relief Mrs. Oates first ap-
peared on the stage when between thirteen
and fourteen years OF age at Brosby's op.
era house, Chicago, Feb. %, 1869, in
Field of the Cloth OF Gold," assuming the
title role OF Earl Darnley. Whilst school
girl in Lexington Alice was married secret
ly to Mr.. James A. Oates. who soon aft
erward died of consumption. After re-
naming a widow for two or three years
she was married to Mr.. t. Titus, from
whom she was divorced by a Louisville
court. She was perhaps the best known
comic opera singer in America.
